History of Changes
  Purpose

To evaluate the effect on gait and activity of a home based physiotherapy intervention 4-6 months after the fracture. The investigators hypothesis is that exercises performed after the initial rehabilitation, which focuses on specific components of gait control will improve gait and increase level of activity.
